大塩平八郎実記 : 絵本実録
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and published in 1887 by Kinjudo, recounting the rebellion of Oshio Heihachiro in woodblock-style prints with running kana text. The four pages show armored samurai and townspeople in dramatic scenes, including a banner-bearing crowd, a sword duel before a patterned screen, rioters hurling debris, and a man escaping through a window beside pine foliage. A designer could draw on the bold hatched linework, the dense black-and-white figure compositions, and the way text panels are integrated into the image frame.
